Chapter 153 Infiltrator
The moment it landed on the floor, the whole world shrank.
All the sensors changed from silent to active, and the little remaining physical sensations in the body were turned into data and integrated into its subconscious.
It was born as a weapon, a killer and an executioner, but it has always been accustomed to stay at a distance to complete these tasks.
It is not a Castellan type, nor a Crusader type, nor even a Castle type.
They do not rely on cold mechanical circuits and wetware logic, but use their unmodified and unburied human brains to think and judge.
The perceptual action area is cramped, the variables are too subtle, and it is too easy to misjudge.
It means chaos, it symbolizes weakness, destruction.
But occasionally, it is necessary.
Because it is far more flexible than a mechanical circuit——
And ego.
The strong odor of ionized air enters its air sensor and is quickly included in the analysis list.
Conclusion: Three weapons, energy type, 93% probability of being laser weapons, charging to firing cycle time of 0.5 seconds.
It rose from its crouch, the metal not making any movement.
Inference: The opponent's level of training and conditioning will mean they will issue a warning before firing.
It twisted its body, crawled on the ground, spread its limbs like a spider, and then two red energy pulses streaked across its original position.
Conclusion: An enemy has not yet fired.
Its metallic muscles began to tighten.
Inference: Delay firing to allow for explosive attack.
Clever/dangerous.
With a twitch of muscles made of metal fibers, it jumped up from the floor, and then a rocket hit the floor, tearing the metal ground into pieces.
It twists its body while flying through the air. Both hands grasped the edge of the vent that was still open.
Conclusion: The course of action has been exposed.
It jerked itself into the wind duct.
Analysis: The passage door, 30 meters away, is currently locked and is the only feasible exit.
It could hear the roars and heavy footsteps of the aliens in the passage below, and then a gap appeared in the palm of its metal palm, and then a smooth sphere slid out.
Inference: There is no possibility of escape for them while they are alive.
The technology of this grenade comes from ancient times, and it has been used as a backup attack method since it was created.
Its surface is smooth, like bone meal, and whenever it is touched, it always seems to be consistent with the surrounding temperature, neither hot nor cold.
It has no data on its origin, the only thing it knows is what will happen when it detonates.
That's enough.
It dropped the grenade from the mouth cover and immediately retracted its body into the wind duct.
Conclusion: The grenade takes 1 second to release.
Then a beam of light evaporated the edges of the mouthpiece, a burst of heat sweeping across its metal skin.
Analysis: Silence.
Inference: The opponent is terminated.
It activated the reconnaissance visual network and constantly exchanged feedback from the mechanical flying insects in the passage around its current position.
There was no one down there, or so it seemed.
Conclusion: Actionable.
It slid out of the broken vent and hung there for a heartbeat.
The entire passage turned red, and a thick layer of gelatin-like pulp covered the walls and ceiling, with some solid objects mixed in among the moisture.
Count: 5 seconds.
Five seconds later, it jumped down, causing a little splash when the metal feet landed.
Count: 11 seconds.
Inference: It takes 9 to 15 seconds for the enemy to notice the loss.
It's on the run, things are going to get a little messy, the mission is under immediate threat, and that means the possibility of total failure of the operation becomes very real.
Count: 13 seconds.
The sealed door that enters the main ventilation duct from the passage is right in front. The reconnaissance vision is projecting the scene in the nearby cabins and passages within a certain range. Its mechanical flying insects are reorganized into a layer around it. protective wall.
Count: 14 seconds. The mechanical flying insect on the other side of the gate caught signs of activity, and an alien entered the opposite passage.
It noticed the uniform, and the wrench in its hand.
Inference: A skilled worker.
Count: 16 seconds.
It suddenly pushed the door open on both sides and rushed over while running.
The mechanic turned around when he heard the sound, and opened his mouth, but the cold mechanical hand had already stepped forward. One hand slapped the other person's temple, and the other reached into his throat.
Several micro-bullets shredded the opponent's brains, while the suppressor in the throat blocked the opponent's voice.
The mechanic fell down immediately.
Count: 19 seconds.
Inference: It must leave immediately, a blood-stained passage will cause it more trouble.
It needs to get out of here, get to a predetermined location, reconnect to the remote data source, and start that.
Count: 23 seconds.
Inference: The probability of the enemy discovering personnel losses is 64%.
It flashed into a small room and raised the rusty door from the ground. The deep dark space stared back at it.
Count: 26 seconds.
Conclusion: A roar sounded in the distance.
Inference: The probability that the enemy will notice the loss of personnel is 99%.
It saw the grille door, then pushed it open cautiously, bent down and sank into the darkness.
Count: 30 seconds.
Inference: Distance from target point, 800 meters.
Conclusion: Speed up.
"Shield."
Ordering to reorganize the shield formation, Soshyan stared ahead, and he could feel the green-skinned one-eye on the throne staring at him.
This is a green-skinned pirate, with a huge iron chin holding a golden fang that almost reaches its nose. One eye is covered with a black eyepatch, and the other is staring at the star that suddenly appears. warrior.
Then it stood up.
“A gray can.”
What is surprising is that what comes out of its thick throat is not a rough roar, but a vague but roughly understandable human language, which is still Gothic.
“This is a business of mine. It provides money (the war leader of the Flen system) and I provide strength, so I am not here to risk my life with you. My work is basically done, so let your ships Stop, get out of my boat, I'll leave now, I won't owe anyone anything."
Soshiyang has also heard that there will be some unique figures among the greenskins, which are related to them. Same kind of thinking.
They know how to mediate and trade, and can even become mercenaries for certain human forces.
But Soshyan, as an Astartes, has no possibility of compromise.
"Kneel down, repent, and accept the punishment of death. This is the fate you must accept when you invade the territory of the empire and kill the people of the empire."
Soshiyan raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the opponent. The green-skinned leader immediately Become furious.
"Just do it! I'm still afraid of you guys! You guys in your twenties are still thinking about it!!!"
At this time, Soshiyang's helmet A signal flashed across his tactical eyepiece, and he immediately smiled.
“Then come.”
boom--!
A loud noise startled the greenskins. Before they could turn around, the vent cover above the bridge fell heavily, and at the same time a silver body slid out of the darkness.
In its hand is a flashing red beacon.
“This——”
Although he didn’t know what happened, the green pirate leader felt a sudden change in air pressure and some kind of distant noise storm.
Therefore, he is the first and only greenskin to leave his position.
The next second, thunder suddenly appeared, and the arc of static electricity and the compressed air formed a storm, causing all the greenskins to stagger.
When they finally came to their senses, there was already a steel jungle behind them——
“Destroy the aliens, leaving no one behind.”
All castle-level combat robots , raised their arms uniformly.
Then, the roar of weapons fire and the screams of the aliens' death echoed on the bridge for a long time.
